CrossFit NYC: The Black Box

i fuckin love mondays

Keith, it's true...you really are a blogger now.

Looking forward to this workout.

Front Squat on Sunday was vicious! I beat my PR but 30lbs! Thanks Keith for being insane enough to push it one step farther.
135, 155, 175, 195, 195, 195, 195, 195, 195, and then on the last set 200lbs!

Stayed for Oly class and did my first 95lbs clean and jerk. Good sunday. Nice way to start the week off strong.

I fucking hate mondays!

PS-MTV music awards sucked! Spears fell off! And our girl Ms. South Carolina was in attendance lol

(for those of you who don't know what a crossfit junkie i am, this is supposed to be funny. though i really am not looking forward to this.)

so im having issues with getting time off for the cert this coming weekend.
im still working on it...but if anyone is interested in maybe buying me seat.
lemme know gonzaleznj@gmail.com

tyler, i am having some trouble understanding your last blog. i think you are referring to my form, but it could be my personality or my voice. please clarify.

thank you

That is a great article, breathing really does make all the difference.

Yesterday my hamstrings were about as shot as they've ever been. I don't know if it was the filthy fifties, scott's mom, or the KB class, but something worked. I guess this is why its the "black box".

I'll second that B.Spears sucked. VMAs are such a joke.

* Keith tried to push my push press from 115 to 125 all at once, but I decided to use my superior math skills and move incrementally, dividing the mandated 10 pound increase into two steps of 5 and then 15.

We might have to get some of these made with our Black Box logo on them for Hari and a few other mathmagicians.

Is the link to the schedules (as of August 2007) still good?

If not, would you be able to change the link?

I can't remember much these days, so remembering if the WODs are at 6 or 7 this month is nearly impossible.

do you guys have bodyfat calipers up there? can someone show me how to use them?

thanks Kieth!

Dammit, you pinch in a few places, under tricep, top of thigh, love handle area, and average out between the three areas. I'd guess you're 10%ish probably minus a few

also, i had what could turn out to be a brilliant idea. threats have been made about having spandex day at the black box...i'd like to expand that idea and suggest we do a SUPERHERO FRAN. which is to say, anyone who wants to can come to the box decked in full, head-to-toe superhero regalia (hence the spandex), we do fran, and video it. guaranteed it'll make it onto the HQ site for halloween. what do you say?

thanks, brett, but i actually have to know how to use the calipers for my new mctraining job :(
